One of the most hotly run handicaps of the year in england,A horse that has taken my fancy at around 16/1 would be the ex hannon trained Martyr,has won a nice few handicaps for hannon a couple of years ago before getting injuried and been on the sideline for two years,
Now been trained by a very good trainer in george baker who's stable seem to like landing a touch every so often,has  had two runs this year 1st run at doncaster 10th of 12 behind sir gramhan wade in a 40k race only beaten around 4 lengths tho,2nd race run at newmarket in the jockey club rose bowl over two mile,re united with richard hughes and ran a great race finishing 4th,just getting tired inside the final furlong,
So hopefully they get Hughes back up for next saturday a jockey that riding the horse in alot of his races,so at around 16/1 think this is a great e/w bets,any views on the race lads or my taughts on my selections,thanks in advance.

You seem to love a good ole puzzle Huddys, suppose if not Hughes it might be Murtagh,be interesting to see what he,ll be on with a few Irish challengers in it.Think Motivator should turn the couple of lengths around with Tominator no problem given it was his first race back.
Countrywide Flame looks a deserving favourite,still the one i like is Albert Bridge at around 20,s really impressed me last time at Ayr stayed on well in soft over 1m 5f where other than the runner up the field were well strung out.Carried 9 12lb has 7 13lb on Saturday.Trip and ground shouldn,t be a bother,the fact he is only 4 and had just 7 runs might however.At the price i,m hoping he is improving fast.gl with yours.

jay , i'd hold fire with hurricane , he only passed his stalls test last week ...he just might get  little upset ...if tings go as they should and he goes in no problem , then i think he has a real chance ..just think he might worry himself out of it...

The Betfred Cesarewitch takes place at Newmarket on Saturday 13th October and as always will be a wide open affair with around 30 runners going to post. It makes up the second part of the Autumn Double with the Cambridgeshire, which was won by Bronze Angel two weeks ago.

Below we take a look at the trends for the past 10 years:

Age (Win-Place-Runners)
3yo: 1-1-17
4yo: 2-9-107
5yo: 1-8-82
6yo: 3-8-54
7yo: 1-2-38
8yo+: 2-2-35
Horses aged 6+ hold an advantage with a combined record of 6-12-127 compared to horses aged 3 to 5 (4-18-206).
4 of the 6 winners aged 6+ had run over hurdles that year.

Weights
Horses carrying 9-7 or more: 1-1-19
Horses carrying 9-0 to 9-6: 3-5-66
Horses carrying 8-7 to 8-13: 2-12-91
Horses carrying 8-0 to 8-6: 3-6-78
Horses carrying 7-7 to 7-13: 1-4-70
Horses carrying 7-6 or less: 0-2-9
No strong trend to be gleaned from the weights of the winners.
Top Weight: 00000005904 (0-1-11)
Horses carrying a penalty (1-5-45) don’t have a great record with just 6 of 45 runners making the frame, though they did fill the 1st & 3rd in 2011.

Official Ratings
Horses rated 76 to 86: 2-13-137
Horses rated 87 to 98: 7-14-166
Horses rated 99 to 109: 1-3-30
7 of 10 winners (including last 6) were officially rated 87 to 98. That ratings bracket has also accounted for 16 of the 20 places in past 5 runnings.

Recent/Past Form
9 of 10 winners (last 8) finished in the first 4 on their last flat start
7 of 10 winners posted their highest flat RPR on last flat start
9 of 10 winners ran at class 3 or higher last time out
9 of 10 winners had run at least 4 times that year (flat or hurdles)
8 of 10 winners had run in 12 or fewer handicaps
9 of 10 winners had won no more than 3 handicaps
10 of 10 winners had won a race over 2M+ (flat or hurdles)
7 of 10 winners had run at listed or group level
5 of 10 winners had won over hurdles (4 of the 5 had run at the Cheltenham Festival that year)

Other Races
Hill Dickinson Handicap winner (Countrywide Flame): 1 (1-0-1)
Shergar Cup Stayers winner (Address Unknown): 0017 (1-0-4)
John Guest Brown Jack Stakes winner (Montaser): 008010 (1-0-6)
Bet At bluesquare.com Stakes winner (Lordofthehouse): 00 (0-0-2)
BetVictor.com Stakes winner (Olympiad): 000 (0-0-3)
Isle Of Skye Handicap winner (Albert Bridge): 000 (0-0-3)
Goodwood Stakes winner (Hurricane Higgins): 500000 (0-0-6)
4 of 10 winners ran in the Northumberland Plate, finishing 0108
3 of 10 winners ran in the Ascot Stakes, finishing 243
3 of 10 winners (3 of last 4) ran in John Guest Brown Jack Stakes, finishing 512
2 of 10 winners ran in the Shergar Cup Stayers handicap, finishing 14
2 of 10 winners ran in Doncaster Cup last time, finishing 22
2 of 10 winners ran in Gordon Carter H'cap last time, finishing 33

Trainers
Nicky Henderson (2-1-8) has gained 2 winners and a second from his 8 runners in the past 10 years.
Mark Johnston (1-1-17), David Simcock (1-0-1) and Brian Meehan (1-0-2) have all trained the winner once since 2002.
Tim Fitzgerald (0-2-3) saddled Inchnadamph to finish 3rd-2nd-5th in 3 consecutive years, while Dermot Weld (0-2-4) trained Direct Bearing to be placed twice in the race and David Pipe (0-2-8) has also saddled 2 placed finishers in past 10 runnings.
Trainers who were predominantly focused on NH have won 6 of the last 12 runnings since 2000 (Martin Pipe X 2, Nicky Henderson X 2, Tony Martin and Philip Hobbs).
Irish-trained runners (1-4-16) have made the frame with 5 of 16 runners.

Draw
Horses drawn 1 to 12: 7-12-120
Horses drawn 13 to 24: 2-11-120
Horses drawn 25 or higher: 1-7-93
Surprisingly for a race run over 2M 2F, there is a large big draw bias towards horses drawn low with 7 of the last 10 winners begin drawn 1 to 12.
Horses drawn 1 to 5: 4-6-50. The bottom 5 stalls have produced 4 of last 10 winners and taken a quarter of the places from just over 15% of the total runners.

Price
8 of 10 winners were priced 16/1 or below
Caracciola was a shock 50/1 winner in 2008 and Never Can Tell at 25/1 last year have been the 2 big upsets with the other 8 winners since 2002 all going off 16/1 or below.
Favourites (2-4-12) have won 2 of the last 10 and giving a level stakes profit of 1.00.

Racing Style
8 of 10 winners were held up or settled in mid division
This is clearly not an easy race to be up with the pace early and stay there with only 2 winners racing prominently, including last year’s winner, Never Can Tell, who made all.

Summary:
Based on trends from the past 10 years you are looking for a horse:
Non-hurdler aged 3 to 5 or hurdles runner aged 6+

First 5 in Ascot Stakes, Shergar Cup Stayers or John Guest Brown Jack H’cap
Placed in Doncaster Cup or Gordon Carter H’cap last time
Drawn 1 to 12 (ideally in 1 to 5)
Tends to be held up or settled in midfield

"it might be worried out of it" is a comment i can understand Kingrat whether you agree or disagree it deserves a bit more respect than openly scoffing at it.No need for personal attacks on people here particulary as a response when someone took time and trouble to answer your query.
Royal academy put a site up not so long ago,geegeez.com normally gives fundamental stats in bigger races(nothing as good as above) but not a bad start.Anyway Gl with Stormy weather.

I suppose that's progress two posts without swearing,although the posts are short and meaningless and somewhat craven they are an improvement
The Cesarewitch is not a betting race for me,I rarely bet on English racing.
